Bubs first wardrobe in the background

 Picked these blue accessories from the NGV shop, bangle $10, ring $2.95, the brooch is from a vintage shop in Carlton

 Love the collar detail, even works over my bump

Couldn't resist a little taste of Scotland, Tunnocks cushion from Etsy store nickimcwilliams for the nursery

 My friends know me so well, perfect babyshower gifts for moi, Limedrop earrings and ring

Cutest summer romper, body oil 

Firstly, I would like to thank my dear friend lady Anthea for her gorgeous wedding post. You will be seeing a lot more of this gorgeous girl on Sleekit while I concentrate on my little bundle. 

Anthea and I both share a love for fashion and with that cemented a truly great friendship, not to mention she's one of the coolest most generous hearted chicks I know! Look forward to many fabulous posts.

So this it it folks, my last post before I descend into a world of nappies and night feeds. On the back of a fairly harrowing first birth experience I will be having a C-section this Wednesday. Mental to think I will be checking myself in to have a baby. I'm excited but shitting myself at the same time, its been 5 years since I nursed and burped a new born, I'm sure it will all come back to me, eek!

In celebration of my impending arrival, my closest friends threw me a baby shower and this is what I wore. Forever hanging onto my sartorial style even at 38 weeks, I purchased this gorgeous mac, had my hair, nails and feet done, added a few accessories and arrived a vision of blue. We enjoyed a fabulous afternoon of food, cake and what turned out to be a cacophony of laughter and good times. Thank you ladies, you know who you are and love my gifts.

Hope to see you back on here very soon when I overload you with baby pics and tales of cuteness, till then...

5 quid frock and the nursery

I bought this dress many moons ago on a trip back to Glasgow. It was 5 quid from George in Asda, 5 quid! It's been in a box since our move and I came across it the other day. I rescued it from the bargain bin around the time the DVF wrap dress was having its revival. At 36 weeks not much is getting passed my navel, even my maternity jeans are starting to feel uncomfortable, room for 2 and a bit more! I always liked the colour maybe I need more green in my wardrobe...

I've also been busy getting the nursery together. Here's a few details, surprised how much I am gravitating towards pink but I've mixed in a few more complementary colours too. 

used some masking tape on an Ikea chest of drawers to brighten them up 

bought this colourful set of wooden block from the Poppyshop on Lygon St 

bought this paper flower from the Amor y Locura on Gertrude St

framed illustrations by Kat Macleod, one of my favorites, the pic in the black frame I bought from Etsy

The Bugaboo I picked up on Ebay for $300, it's practically brand new (would never dream of spending 2 grand on a new one)

Replica Eames rack, bought on Ebay for $35 and the jumpsuits from Seed 

34 weeks pregnant and counting...

 kick - yes, I know your in there...

yep it's happening, in 4 weeks time you will be a mother of 2...

  excited, girly moments beckon...

dress/night dress: Bonds

leather jacket: Gorman

scarf: ASOS

ring: Studio leanne

tight: Sportsgirl

boots: ASOS

Hello there, I've been a terrible blogger but I do have a big excuse! Only 4 and a bit weeks to go until the birth, eek. I'm at the stage where I'm ready to meet this little bundle and comfort is taking over my wardrobe. Today, I'm wearing a Bonds dress which I have been technically wearing as a night dress (shhh don't tell) but I'm scrambling for ideas and comfort is key. 
As always, accessories have been my savour, here wearing an Aztec scarf which I stole from my beloved, oversize ring and these ASOS ankle boots have also been on high rotation. Reckon I'm the only pregnant woman who is more comfortable in a heel than flats. 

Channelling Christina Hendricks

pencil skirt: ASOS

tights: ok ok

shirt: Decuba

shoes: Wittner

hair: from a bottle!

I woke up this morning and felt bleh, hair needed dyed, eye brows looking forest like, other areas in need of attention. So, I dusted myself off, covered those greys, popped on a pencil skirt, channelled Christina Hendricks, boom I feel better! 

Have a great weekend Love Sleekit x
